Sustainable production of dairy farm systems
Sustainability of dairy farm production systems can be measured by the intersection between profitability and environmental stewardship. It is clear that unprofitable farms are destined to go out of business. Similarly, although not as evident, farms that are not efficient in the use of input resources, having higher wastages, and consequently producing more emissions, are likely to be un-susta...
متن کاملGenes Associated with Production and Health in Farm Animals
In the early 1990s in the European Union and Poland alike, special research projects (i. e. PiGMaP, BovMaP, ChickenMaP ) were launched in order to gather as much information on the farm amimals genome as possible (Archibald et al., 1991; Komisarek et al., 1998; Korwin-Kossakowska et al., 1998). The aim of these projects was also to make gene maps that pinpoint the structure (DNA nucleotide sequ...

متن کاملCharacterization of Integrons and Resistance Genes in Salmonella Isolates from Farm Animals in Shandong Province, China
A total of 154 non-duplicate Salmonella isolates were recovered from 1,105 rectal swabs collected from three large-scale chicken farms (78/325, 24.0%), three large-scale duck farms (56/600, 9.3%) and three large-scale pig farms (20/180, 11.1%) between April and July 2016. Seven serotypes were identified among the 154 isolates, with the most common serotype in chickens and ducks being Salmonella...
متن کاملSerotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella spp. isolated from farm animals in China
Salmonella spp. can indirectly infect humans via transfer from animals and animal-derived food products, and thereby cause potentially fatal diseases. Therefore, gaining an understanding of Salmonella infection in farm animals is increasingly important. The aim of this study was to identify the distribution of serotypes in Salmonella samples isolated from chickens (n = 837), pigs (n = 930), and...
